My family lived in Hungry Horse for 4.5 years while the dam was being built. As kids we barely noticed the -42 temperatures or the 3-4 feet of new snow. The boys who lived near us would build a tree fort in the woods and when we girls discovered it, they didn't want it anymore so gave it to us. We loved driving into Glacier Park on Sundays because my Dad wanted to look for elk, which wasn't all that interesting for kids, but seeing the beautiful clear glacier lakes was a thrill I'll never forget. I always hoped to get back for a visit to see how Hungry Horse looked now, but never made it, but I have very fond memories of Montana.
